The Strain

The Complete First Season

When a freak virus kills all but four passengers on an airplane at JFK, Ephraim Goodweather, head of the Center for Disease Control's "Canary Team," is immediately called to the scene. With help from a mysterious Holocaust survivor, "Eph" and his colleague uncover the outbreak's ties to vampirism. Now, the only way to stop the terrifying disease from wiping out mankind is to face its source, a sinister supernatural creature known as "The Master."

Based on a series of books by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Pacific Rim), who also created and produced the series, this mixes disaster plague film with vampire horror. Fans of del Toro will recognize his dark wit and creative visuals. A great cast, including Corey Stoll ("House of Cards"), Sean Astin, Kevin Durand, and the old caretaker from "Harry Potter" keep it grounded in reality. Now that "Walking Dead" has run out of steam and "True Blood" is off the air, this is the best, smartest horror show going. Season 2 is coming.
